What is Raisin?
Raisins are created by drying grapes, a process that concentrates their natural sugars, primarily fructose, making them a sweet and chewy dried fruit. They are commonly used in a variety of culinary applications, including baking, cooking, and as a convenient snack. While raisins offer some nutritional benefits, such as providing fiber, iron, and antioxidants, they are also high in FODMAPs, which can be problematic for individuals with certain digestive sensitivities.

Why People Avoid Raisin
People who follow a low-FODMAP diet often avoid raisins because they are high in fructose and can also contain fructans. These are types of fermentable carbohydrates that can cause digestive discomfort, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea, in sensitive individuals, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
